Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 10
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Spore Addicts | A play on the word "sporatic". If you crave mushrooms, you are a 'spore addict'. | Jon | ||
| Spork | I love sporks. I was eating with one and thought it would be a cool band name! | alicia thompson | ||
| Spork | I was at taco bell one day, and all they had were sporks. Plus, sporks are awesome, half spoon - half fork. Think of the possibilities. | sexy monkey | ||
| SpOrK | Dedicated to those annoying, little plastic eating utensils --the combination of spoon and fork-- the SPORK!! | Megan Pray | ||
| Spork Attack | You know those spoon/fork thingies you get at KFC for your coleslaw? | Dave | ||
| Sporknife | sittin' around one day and thought up a way to not only combine a fork and a spoon to make spork but also a knife. .. .giving you. . .Sporknife | Sara | ||
| Sporks and Foons | My friend tried to say forks and spoons,but it kinda came out like that! | Tash | ||
| Sport | once you think about it and say it a few times, you'll realize it's the weirdest word in the world | Adam | ||
| The Sporting Woodsmen | Of course there's the double-meaning, with one meaning a state of sexual arousal, if I needed to point that out. If you like the Far Side comics a good first album cover art selection would be the one where the deer hunter throws down his gun and the deer throws down his antlers as they begin to fight - which was the inspiration for this band name. | retrofitz | ||
| Spot The Dog | Gonna use this one myself! You can say it either way, both works just fine. | Ronhar | ||
| Spotted Shower | Its like a great band everyone has heard of but never seen. When they always say "spotted showers" on the weather reports I go out and look for one. Everybody I ask has never seen a spotted shower either but we've all heard of em! They are famous, they must have a good front man. No one even knows what color the spots are supposed to be. | badboybear | ||
| The Spotted Stripes | It'd be a really colorful psychedelic band | Deep Deen | ||
| Sprinkle88 | The number 88 can override any number if a mistake is made. Sprinkle is very cool, it really is. Sprinkle88. | RanTon | ||
| SprinkleBack | He\\ it jus got a nice ring 2 it | Squirt #9983276452345 | ||
| The Spurious | Hah ha, me and my mates were thinking of a decent band name, i suddenly cam upon a thesaurus! what are the chances of that? Well, after a hard battle against my friends hamster, that was eating the thesaurus, i retreived it victoriously , and threw it at my friend. That was my plan all along. However it happened to land of the page say 'Spurious'. This word happens to mean B*stards and random. Excellent | Bonceyrogs | ||
| Sputnik Candy | While sitting in Social Studies class exceedingly bored, I stumbled upon the word 'sputnik', (the sattelite), and immediatly fell in love with the way it sounded. My mind then began drifting to candy. I combined the two words in my head, and found that they would make an insanely spectacular name for a hardcore, original punk rock band. | Spoo the Amazing | ||
| The Sputum Samples | For fans of the TV series "The Big Bang Theory". | Opie M. | ||
| Square Moon | Sound like a experimental band, really cool name, I was up to call my band like this, but we play trashy-heavy metal and the name sounds too soft | Riveret | ||
| The Square Root of the Fifty-Degree Angle | Some guy was pretending to say something smart, so he blurted out something like this. Could be the name of an 80's one hit wonder band. | aldrAea | ||
| Square Wheels | Old expression, used when the car has bad suspension. Sounds cool. | Alex | ||
| Squarepusher. | This is the coolest-sounding(one o em anyway) drum 'n bass artist name, but I don't know exactly why Tom Jenkinson decided too call himself that... | jonnio | ||
| Squash Banana | I'm a nerd that watches way too much Disney movies... Rafiki is the greatest character ever, and his song is pure excellence... if I had any musical talent this would be one of my top band name choices. | Elle | ||
| The Squee-Gees | Okay, so it kinda sounds like the Bee Gees, but how cool is the name of this common household item? | Emily | ||
| Squeegie | My homies and I came up with this name because our first album is called Look Through the Window and we wanted a name too do with windows. We were originally THE WINDOW WASHERS but we thought it was to repetive to have the word window in your band name, album and first single. We changed it to something you wash the windows with. | hohopollio235 | ||
| Squeegy! | haha.. I was at my dads house helping him wipe down windows and make them dry w/ a "Squeegy" and I had no clue what they were called, so I asked my dad, he told me, "Squeegy!" I was like "Holy f***!" i loved the word! I kept saying it over and over and over, it sounds like a kinda weird / cheesy band name but I find it cool! | ..... | ||
| Squid Pistol | This one just came to me out of the blue. I think they would be a wacky Alternative band that would do music much like that of Smashmouth. | drlondon | ||
| Squiggly Line~ | I always thought what the was the point of that letter/symbol on the keyboard. So, now I'm gonna use it in here! I think It's a cool letter/symbol so there. Now I have made the band name, "Squiggly Line~" (You need the little squiggle too.) | Tunks Verman | ||
| Squirrelly Wrath | My BFF and I were at EMP and asked to name a band we wanted to start. Since we had been watching way to much "Neurotically Yours", my friend said, "We're Squirrelly Wrath, and we're gonna getcha!" | Leila Chan | ||
| Squirrels In The Attic | My dad told me there were squirrels in our attic. I thought "hey! that would make a great band name someday" | Leann | ||
| SRO | On Broadway, when a show is sold out, the theater management puts out a sign on the ticket window that says "SRO" or "Standing Room Only". If musicians want to be a great band, they would hope that their concerts are SRO. | united | ||
| St Dominics School Choir | We go to St Dominics school... and we thought it was original | Kirsty and Alex | ||
| St. Anik | This is a good name for a heavy metal type band b/c when you say it, it sounds like "satanic" | Katie L. | ||
| St. Dismas & Gestas | The two thieves who were crucified with Jesus on the three crosses. Neat. | (Not Yet) Pope Francis II | ||
| St. Kitts & Nevis | I know that some bands are named after countries, but this makes a VERY good band name! :) | Lucia Bevilacqua | ||
| St. Sakura | It's great for a J-Pop girl group! I came up with it watching some awards show, as I was looking for names for my girl group (we were Sugar Puffs....) and I saw "St. Nowhere" and since we were all obsessed with Cardcaptor Sakura, I came up with St. Sakura! So I say name a J-Pop band that. | Ari | ||
| St. Timmy | I came up with the name becuase of Green Day's song "St. Jimmy". This is a cool name! | MIXMASTA | ||
| St. Vincent and the Grenadines | The real St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a Carribbean country. I've been thinking for a while now of starting a ska/reggae band under the name. How utterly appropriate it would be. | Pinto | ||
| St0rm | What happened was there was MTV on, during a storm. Well, me and my buds sung the songs, but the storm cut the power off, and so wa sung the rest of the song that we were listening to. | bob | ||
| Stabbing Lucifer | well we were all just sorta sitting around here at my place one day trying to think of a name and my friend was like how bout stabbing something thats always good, then i was like lucifer...stabbing lucifer | feen dog | ||
| Stabfour | In an episode of "Simpsons", there was a Beatles cover band called this that was playing in a prison. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Stack Overflow | What pops up on the screen when the Internet runs out of bandwidth. | Some Guy | ||
| Stage Fright | We thought of Stage Fright because it sounds kool and its a fear that can eat away at you, but we were strong enough to over come it and now were on are way to being the next Evanescence or 12 Stones! | Joe DeKezel | ||
| Stagefright | A band with the name stagefright. I just think that'd be funny. | Sera | ||
| Stained Back | It's my band name and we thought it was cool because we are always wearing back clothes, painted back nails, etc...so we thought what better name then Stained Black! We're a punk/rock band and its me (a girl) and three guys! | nikki | ||
| Stainless Steel | Alliterative | Harlow | ||
| Stairway to Eleven | If Led Zeppelin and Spinal Tap teamed up to form a supergroup... | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Stalin Stole My Strawberry | I came up with this after seeing "Hitler Stole My Potato" in the stupid band names section. | Winter Pepper | ||
| Stalker John | A double-reference: a nod to the M*A*S*H character Trapper John but mainly a reference to John Stalker, a well-known figure in the UK. He used to be the outspoken deputy chief constable of Manchester Police, until he was implicated in a corruption case and forced into early retirement. Bizarrely, after a few years out of the public eye, he can now regularly be seen advertising roll-out sunblinds on daytime TV. | Goosey Gander | ||
| Stalking Grandma | stalkers never stalk old people..so i figured get grandma some credit shes hott for a 80 year old | moe lee | ||
| Stalking Kyle Park | It's the screen name of some chick that stalks a kid in my school. It would make a good chick band name, but if you change it to a girl's name it works for a guy band too. | The Platypus | ||
| Stall Number Five | Good name for a punk band; came up with it when in a subway system whose name will not be mentioned, and the call of nature diredted me to the bathroom. There was only 5 stalls, and the first four were full. The last one had a very large , dead squid inside of it. | Barry Wolfenden | ||
| Stammer | When there is just no good word for the way they rock....the fans just Stammer | Trickett | ||
| Stand and Deliver | We saw this somewhere on the internet. We couldn't stop talking about how funny it was. It sounds so innocent but is so guilty. We are currently using this one. | Ryan,Grant,Zack,Travis | ||
| Stand On My Own 0.6096 Meters | A story I once heard (Told for true, although I don't know), is that someone once wrote a computer program to edit texts to convert English units into metric units. That was what it allegedly did with the phrase "Stand on my own two feet". | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| The Stand-Out Krauts | It rhymes. | Winter Pepper | ||
| Standard Diviation | I think this is the coolest band name ever!!!!!! We play rock and it just fits!!!!!! | LZRD | ||
| Standard Protocol | I was thinking of a name for my band. I was searching the web for emergencies. It was in a sentence that said, "It's the standard protocol". | anonymous | ||
| Standing Elbow Jumps | Once, I was skiing and there was a sign that said "No standing below jumps", meaning stay away from jumps so someone doesn't land on you. I misread it as "No Standing Elbow Jumps". | Ten Second Braeden | ||

| Star Dreamers | Its a top name for a popband, me and my mate come up with it because we really wanted to be in stardom ! | Gemma | ||
| Star Freeze | This is on a pokemon card and is one of Starmie's attacks. It would be cool for a techno/ska band! | Panic Pagoda | ||
| Starblood | It just sounds strangely evil and also really epic... | G | ||
| Starbucks Pedicure | I wrote two unrelated thoughts in the Notes app on my phone, which was about getting a Starbucks app and getting a pedicure as this and thought it would make a good band name. that being said, they also might get sued by Starbucks for copyright infringement | dayna | ||
| Starcraft | My friend Kyle & I like to play the game so we are thinking about naming our band that. Our band might be playin' other band's songs. | Rikochet | ||
| StarDust | i was looking at my films! | Em&Emz | ||
| The Stare | The singers of 70's punk bands (mainly Johnny Rotten) always seemed to have a really hard cold stare. So that's why! | punk111 | ||
| Starfish Pizza | Cool image but foul-tasting idea. | Johnny D | ||
| The Stark Naked Car Thieves | When I was younger listening to music in my room, my grandpa would always walk by and say "Who the hell are you listening to? The Stark naked car thieves???" I always said if I started a band that's what I would name it! | Cheryl Baker | ||
| Stark Raving Mad | It means 'insane'. I just thought it sounded cool...to me, it sounds like a cool punk band name. And that's the way the cookie crumbles. :) | Steph-o | ||
| The Stars | A simple name that pretty much describes what most music groups are these days. I actually used it in a short story for a character of mine. | Larcen Tyler | ||
| Starscream's Giant Ego | If you've ever seen the original Transformers series, then you just know. | IHaveNoBrain | ||

| Starvation Army | Didn't come up with this, but it's a dead 80's punk band with the best name in existance. | FACE | ||
| Starving Poeit(s) | Yoc can keep the "s" or take it away. Poets are sometimes referred to as starving if no one likes their poems; and it's cool to misspell things. | Stickman | ||

| State Of Error | Thought up by a friend of mine as he was sitting around the house and pondering to himself about the situation with the Iraq war and how USA and Britain are going to cope with the threat looming in Iran. | B Boy | ||
| The State vs. Sodomy | It's a reference to the line "The state looks down on sodomy" from "What's My Age Again?" | JeReMy | ||
| Stateminority | jus last night was thinkin bout some names fur my name and came across it and told it to my band and they disliked it so i decided to put it on here | Max | ||
| The Staten Islanders | It kinda brings some pride in being a native of Staten Island, NY. Plus, since there was an actual band in the 1970s called "New York City", then this would be appropriate for a band named after a borough. | Anthony 'A-Log' LoGatto | ||
| Static Link | looks cool to me because it makes myself funny, and besides, i got it on warcraft DotA | ojay mendiola | ||
| Stating The Obivious | I was looking at the explanations of some of the names here on this site and one read "that was just stating the totally obvious". I was like, "Woah, that would be a cool band name". So I got stating the obivious. | tony_gurl | ||
| Station Night At A Vacation | The result if a childhood misinterpretation of "station identification", which was announced at the end of the last prime time network show of the night in the 70s. It sounds better than the original. | Terry Cloth | ||
| Statistical Probability | I liked this name because everyone seems to judge you based on the statistics or because of how probable it is that you will fail. Screw that...I want to throw it out and maybe someone can defy the standards of which we are judged!!! | julie | ||
| Statix | I just thought it was cool because it's misspelled to sound like "Statics." I thought of it while watching a music video on MTV...and suddenly, all of it turned to static. | Coolio | ||
| Statue of Puberty | On the old ABC show Whose Line is it Anyway, one suggestion for the game "Scenes from a Hat" was "America's least popular monuments". Two of the "monuments" were the "Statue of Puberty" and "Viagra Falls". Since Viagra Falls is already on the site, why not Statue of Puberty. | JeReMy | ||
| Status Unknown | I came up with this name one day when I was high and looking for something to use for an email address. After that, it just stuck. | AJ | ||
| Statutory Grape | Great for a hardcore-type boy band whose groupies consist of 14 year old girls who hate thier parents. | justin | ||
| Staypuft | Staypuft Marshmallow Man....its just sweet | radioheadistheworldsbestband | ||
| Stbin | One of the better band names I've come up with, in my opinion, this name is for a band that thinks of themselves as trashy yet intellectual. (The word "Stbin" is formed when you take the "duh" out of "dustbin.") | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| STD | Not my band, a friend's, stands for Severe Tire Damage (think parking lot spikes to prevent backing up). They were the FIRST band to stream live on the web (bunch o' GEEKS)...1996, i think, beating the Stones by ?(a small amount of time). The double-entendre acronym still gets mileage. | NOT Russ Haines | ||
| STD | Great rap group name. Perhaps the next Eminem. | Dick Burns | ||
| Steak 'n' Milk | It what the burger chain Steak 'n' Shake should have been called, since they mentioned steak burgers and milkshakes in their ads. Well, at least it's a good band name. | Odie Garfield | ||
| Steak and Potatoes | Common dinner dish. | NICKI | ||
| Stealing Bones | My band is in transition with two members leaving. The surviving members are going to replace the parts, change the name and get a fresh start. But we are a classic rock band, hence we play other peoples music (stealing) and a good many members of those bands have passed on (bones). I think it sounds cool and it has a real meaning behind it. | Zymurgy | ||
| Stealing Fire | I don't know I thought of it one day with my friends. | jennit lee |
